Surely the six (?) gallows are too repetitive to refer to the same texts? Are there similar examples from the era?

The court of the Emperor Rudolf II in Prague was surely full of highly educated people, Kepler among them. Dozens of people well acquainted with Latin and other languages must have seen the VM. They were closer historically to understanding it, but they found nothing that resembled Latin or any other language.
Now, 400 years later it seems that we want to see what they did not see. Doesn't this sound a bit arrogant?

Did Emperor Rudolph II not have money to pay for the translation of a book he was interested in?
